Back from a long day volunteering as an election worker. I don’t know how it projects statewide but at the end of the day at my polling station, the No votes beat the Yes votes by a 2-to-1 margin. Voting wasn’t heavy but it was steady all day.

Bro, y'all won big. Wasserman called before 715. 

Keep on rocking

Yeah nobody is buying the “we’re protecting babies from late 3rd trimester  abortions*” bs now that we are seeing heartbeat bills w/o exceptions, doctors threatened with civil and criminal penalties, women needing to be literally on their deathbed prior to intervention, and proposals to ban contraception 

* which Roe already did

Lots of Ohio sucks, by the look of that map. But sanity has won out.

Rurals about tapped out but not the big stuff in the cities

Sandusky County (ew) swung 15 points left - Trump +27.6 to Yes +12

When Heehaw is voting that strongly against you and they are purportedly on your side it might be time to rethink your position.

Bwahaha! Yeah right. Rethink. 

You mean REDOUBLE MY EFFORTS!

This quote from the Frum

Unfortunately for them, Republicans have turned every element of the plan upside down and inside out.

Radical republicans already with the same song and dance that this election was “rigged”

They seriously have no message. Sad.

Of course it’s rigged when the people are allowed to vote

So all the counties with 1-5k people went heavily GQP.  Shocking…

Yeah but there’s lots of them. Land > people. Duh

Whatever the margin ends up, I bet the abortion amendment in November is going to end up better for Dems. And only needs 50%

Would be hilarious if the measure to change the threshold to 60% gets voted down 40-60

This is obviously a good day, but part of my mind can't reconcile how many 2020 Trump/2023 No voters there are and that a whole lot of them, if not the overwhelming majority of them, are going to pull the lever for Trump in 2024.

I guess if the GQP continues its assault on women's rights (of course they will) maybe there's a chance to flip some of them.

Can Texas haz a constitutional amendment vote on abortion?

I wish more Texans knew that we have legislators and other politicians up through the state level, that would love to track Texas women leaving the state for abortions, and putting them in jail upon their return, as well as wanting to do away with birth control.

I don’t think you’re appreciating the difference in turnout. It’s not that Trump voters then voted No. it’s that a bunch of Trump voters didn’t vote.

And that’s the consequence of the GQP’s dominance among the poorly educated, who don’t vote in off-year elections.

I think that's the aggy argument of "ran out of clock"

Yeah, if they’d had more time then they probably wouldn’t have banned August elections a few months before reinstating them just to try to sneak this one issue past the electorate.

I guess Ohio Secretary of State frank larose became the face of this Ohio issue 1 vote. I’m glad that pussy lost.

Watch out for that motherfucker. He’s looking at a Senate bid to compete against Sherrod Brown and like J.D. Vance he’s going to adopt Trumpism as his model.

Also, fuck him and his party for other restrictions that make it harder to vote early and vote by mail. Among other things they’ve reduced the number of drop boxes, limiting them to just one per county. So Vinton County has one to serve a population of 13,000, and so does Franklin County with a population of 1,300,000. You don’t have to guess which county leans red and which leans blue. Also, you can no longer use a utility bill or a bank statement as a valid form of ID when voting in person. But you can now use a passport. Do you suppose those changes are likely to make it more or less difficult for members of the poor and working classes to vote?

Fuck Frank LaRose and fuck the GOP. They’re enemies of democracy.

The youth will definitely vote GOP. They hate Brandon so much, they will willingly vote for the party that will gut their rights  /GOP strategists 

They're not stupid. They may not like Biden or the Dems that much, but they HATE the GOP. With a passion.

You are, America is not.  Maybe.

Well, except for Texas and Florida. We are fucked.

My oldest turns 18 a week before the 2024 election. She is so fucking excited and ready to vote straight ticket Democrat. At her age, I'm not sure I was even aware of the political platforms of each party.  The one good thing to come out of the GQP is that they're turning a generation of teens into politically aware and active liberals.

Best comment I saw was “Try to take away my abortion rights? Try that in a college town”
